I see reports saying Downing to start, this really has nothing to do with the massive belts over the park, hes just ****. As an England fan my opinion is still the same, hes ****. His confidence must be so low, why dont we leave him till we are safe in the group, then build him up. He will get ripped apart.
If Welbeck and Young can batter their defense with a bit of pace, we should break them down. They just need quality balls in. I dont think we will lose.
 

*exercises the bow fingers in prehab routine.

will be watching with an assortment of nationalities who all want England to win (Irish, Dutch, German ffs!! and Italians. Or more that they want France to lose as they hate the french cos the French hate them....... and everyone.

so far only the Germans are happy with their performance, walked straight into 500 of them watching on a big screen, wearing my Alan Ball shirt and giving it a big "Ronaldo........Ron-aldo!!!" stood with 2 squaddies and some dutch in 'the away end.'

Rumor is Milner and Downing and no Walcott. Which is a bunch of bollocks if you ask me.

Yeah, I saw Downing on the left and Milner on the right, they'll supply all the crosses in the world to our big striker..... that will be sat on the bench....

I'd like to see the Ox, Walcott and Young in some kind of front 3, but that's very FM2012, sadly.
 

If that England team played in the Premiership I wonder where it would finish?

Oh, I forgot, they finished 8th.

We've gone with Welbeck and Young because the french like to push their defense up and they're weak against pace getting in behind them. Which is fine. Only we don't have the bollocks to go with pace on the wings too and really take it to them. So we've gone with two wingers who'll track back and hold the shape.

Cowardly, if you ask me. Walcott pinning back Evra because he'll get in behind if Evra comes forward would be a far more effective defensive technique then Milner tracking Evra into his own half all the time. And Walcott can actually attack too.
 
Reports coming out that The OX will start and downing on the bench! Hope this is true. Will run the French ragged.
